You will lead, mentor, and inspire a multidisciplinary team of program managers and agile practitioners, serving as the connective tissue across the organization to ensure every release delivers business value with speed and precision. If you are a rigorous leader who can balance the discipline of Agile frameworks with the flexibility required in a high‑growth SaaS environment, we’ve built a seat at the table just for you.

Team Leadership: Recruit, mentor, and scale a high‑performing team of Program Managers, fostering a culture of radical transparency, relentless improvement, and operational discipline. Agile Rituals & Process: Direct the optimization of our delivery rituals (Scrum, Kanban, PI Planning), ensuring seamless flow from discovery to deployment through mature, data‑driven methodology. Continuous Improvement & Learning: Drive a continuous improvement culture through postmortems, retrospectives and accountable action tracking. Release Predictability: Lead cross‑functional coordination to uncover dependencies, manage risks, and ensure predictable release cycles across complex, interconnected product lines. Workflow Optimization: Spearhead a culture of data‑informed execution, utilizing velocity metrics, cycle time analysis, and flow efficiency to optimize delivery performance and business outcomes. AI‑Enabled Delivery: Integrate cutting‑edge tools into our delivery lifecycle to automate reporting, identify bottlenecks, and enhance forecasting accuracy. Cross‑Functional Orchestration: Work in lockstep with Product Management and Engineering leadership to balance speed‑to‑market with technical debt management and operational ROI. What Success Looks Like Predictability: A consistent ability to deliver on projected roadmap dates by effectively balancing scope, team capacity, and proactive dependency management that establishes trust with internal stakeholders and customers. Operational Velocity: A highly efficient development pipeline where cycle times are optimized and waste is systematically removed. Quality Excellence: A measurable increase in release stability and a reduction in post‑release defects, driven by rigorous agile practices. Relentless Improvement: Reduction of repeat issues, improvements implemented, sustained and measured. Evidence‑Based Delivery: A culture where decisions are driven by real‑time data, usage metrics, and clear performance indicators. Organizational Trust: A unified engine where the Delivery Management function is viewed as a strategic partner to both Engineering and Product leadership. What You Bring Proven Leadership: 10+ years of experience in Program Management, Engineering Operations, or Agile Delivery, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role scaling high‑performance SaaS delivery teams. Strategic Mindset: A track record of successful product delivery where you led the journey from abstract roadmap to high‑impact, market‑ready releases. Technical Sophistication: Deep expertise in Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe (or similar scaling frameworks), alongside a strong understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Analytics Fluency: Proficiency in leveraging quantitative data (velocity, burn‑down, throughput) to drive high‑conviction delivery decisions. Stakeholder Mastery: The ability to navigate organizational complexity and communicate the business value of operational excellence to C‑suite stakeholders. Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Business, or a related field required; Master’s degree preferred. Preferred Qualifications Experience in Product‑Led Growth (PLG) environments. Familiarity with modern delivery and management platforms (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps, Asana, Monday.com). Experience in Lean or Six Sigma methodologies.
